Verzilov had been taken to a Berlin hospital with signs of poisoning. He started losing sight, speech and mobility.

The Pussy Riot activist, Pyotr Verzilov, has regained consciousness and told how he felt.

"Hello everyone, kittens [meaning ‘dear friends’] you have written so many kind words, thaaaaank ya! Only the third day in relative consciousness - and 12 days before that passed in complete darkness," he wrote on Twitter.

“I spend my days in the great company of my wonderful friends, the poisons. They are neither Polonius-210 nor the Novichok, however, but something entirely different and extraordinary!”

As it was reported earlier, Verzilov had been taken to a Berlin hospital with signs of poisoning. He started losing sight, speech and mobility. The diagnosis is still unknown.
